| 1 |  | Wash and dry your hands before handling the contents of the collection kit. |
| 2 |  | Using a non-smudging blue or black pen/marker, write your first and last name and date of birth on the collection tube. |
| 3 |  | Next, using the same non-smudging pen/marker, fill out the Specimen Confirmation Form. |
| 4 |  | Screw off the top of the collection tube. Place the cap with the opening face up on a clean surface. Do not drink the liquid. |
| 5 |  | Take the swab out of its package. Do not touch the tip of the swab with your hands, and do not lay it down on any surface. |
| 6 |  | Hold swab in one hand and collection tube in the other, being careful not to spill the liquid. |
| 7 |  | Insert the tip of the swab into one nostril, just until the tip of the swab is no longer visible. |
| 8 |  | Rotate the swab while gently circling and pressing around the entire inside edge of your nostril at least 5 times. When finished, take the swab out of your nostril. |
| 9 |  | Using the same end of the swab, repeat step 8 in your other nostril. When finished, take the swab out of your nostril. |
| 10 |  | Place the swab in the collection tube, so that it is submerged in the liquid inside the tube. |
| 11 |  | Break the swab along the pre-scored line by bending it against the collection tube. |
| 12 |  | Screw the top of the collection tube back on, ensuring that it is closed tightly. |
| 13 |  | Discard the broken top part of the swab. |
| 14 |  | Wash and dry your hands thoroughly again. |
| 15 |  | Place the collection tube into the absorbent pad inside the biohazard specimen bag. |
| 16 |  | Seal the biohazard specimen bag by closing the zip-lock seal. |
| 17 |  | Fold the biohazard specimen bag so that it fits into the GENETWORx box that this at-home kit came in. Place it inside the box, along with your Specimen Confirmation Form. |
| 18 |  | Place the shipping box into the FedEx return pack, remove the adhesive cover strip and seal the FedEx return pack closed. |
